I will be 48 in 2 weeks and I just realized that I have been saying 48 for the last year already. I am loving my self, I workout, eat well and take care of myself. I am in my rich auntie era and I love it! You keep the 20's I am good!
People gone realize.. looking YOUNG by itself is not a flex. Plenty of young looking ppl are still unattractive. It’s about looking & feeling GOOD! Much rather see someone who’s 35-50, looking their age, healthy, and strong… than simply looking “10 years younger” but you still ain’t optimizing your health or just simply taking care of yourself. Looking & feeling GOOD is far more impressive to most ppl.
As an elder Millennial (39 y.o.) this has got to be the most embarrassing phenomenon on the internet. 95% of the time when someone online says they look younger than their age, I look at the profile, and they absolutely end up looking exactly their age. Lol. In our society, sadly, old = unattractive. So what I think these people mean is that they are 35+ and still look good. Which is true! I've seen absolutely gorgeous women in their late 30s, 40s, and 50s. But that doesn't mean they look young. Which is fine! Aging is a blessing!
Ain't the folks saying they look younger than Gen Z the parents of Gen Z? And does Gen Z realize that the alternative to being old is not br eathing?? Folks gotta chill on the ageism.
Many years ago, as a far younger woman, I struggled with age. I was entering my second career and returned to school as a 35 y/o adult in room FULL of twenty somethings. However, now I embrace aging gracefully. As a gen Xer and being the parents of her z’s, I can much more relate to them then parents from previous generations. Cell phones, computers and social cameras to life during my time and exponentially grew during theirs. But I’m still connected. Long are those days of the “golden girls.” we have established new ideas of what it means to be 40 and 50. Gone are the days of shoulder length hair and glasses to establish maturity and wisdom. We are trendier, we’re into fitness, healthy lifestyles, skincare, hydration, soft lives, etc. we’re no longer dinosaurs, we’re phoenix’s. We’ve set a new standard of aging and happy to be hitting 50 and looking amazing for my age!
Love this video, it really resonates with me. I’m in my 40s and I embrace it, I just want to look and feel my best, mentally and physically, no matter what that looks like! ❤
I will say that a lot of us Millennials are delusional 😂 but I’ve heard for the most part that gen z looks as old as millennials not older. I’ve embraced my age, I ain’t getting caught up lol.
we are as old as millennial lmao. the youngest millennials are 27. The oldest gen z ers are also 27. It's normal for some people in their early 20s to look like they are in their late 20s. it's all relative.
Too be honest, some people look damn good for their age ,but some are looking in a different type of mirror. Also, women who don't take care of themselves get jealous of those who do. We know a lot of women have a jealous heart ❤️ Be honest! Some women go outside with rags on their hair, shower caps, and even younger women. Some have crispy feet. They never saw a pedicure in their life. If their mom don't know about Taking care of themselves, their daughters don't either. Their not taught.
Well I'm 45 and my daughter is 16 and people think I'm her older sister. I believe it's the heavy lashes, wigs, caked on makeup. That's just the generation Z . They are either over done or under done.
I’m 31 and I’ve never been scared of getting older. My family has good genetics so I know as long as I take care of myself and wear sunscreen I’ll be alright. Like you said it’s about the confidence, stability, assertiveness, and wisdom that I’ve always looked forward to. I dream of the day that I will be at peace with myself that I only think comes from living.
I'm 30 It's such a compliment when people find out and pop their eyes out saying i look 23. I think i look my age (maybe because i have lived and been with ME for 30 years😂😂😂😂😂 and i feel waaay older) but it's always nice when people say i look younger than my actual age.
I agree with that statement. I’ll be 47 and I’ve been mistaken for being in my early 30s (not always but sometimes). I’ll also agree that some folks are really much younger than what they present. I’ll also say some folks (in my generation too) most ppl will guess their correct age and they’ll still say they look much younger 🤷🏽♀️. I only know that from seeing lots of social media comments.
Ain’t no way. Maybe you need your vision checked. Even with the 40-something people who look much younger (those are the ones who really take care of themselves, and maybe even get some good work done), it’s not going be by more than 10 years. For eg., Shakira is in her mid 40s and she looks incredible, she looks much younger than her age, but she looks 35, not 25 or even 30. Miranda Kerr looks early 30s and she’s in her early 40s. It’s never more than 10 years, even if they put a lot of effort and money to look younger.
I’m Gen X. I’m 48. It runs in my family to look younger than our age. At 26, I was mistaken for a minor. People are still surprised that I have kids as old as I do, (27,27, & 30). However, I am realizing that I’m getting older and I hate it. The last time I was in a liquor store several years ago and the cashier didn’t ask for my ID, I was hurt. That was my first time not getting carded. My adult son was with me, he thought it was hilarious.💀I even asked him if he wanted to check and he smiled and was like no. I was sick. I haven’t been back to the liquor store.😂
I’ll be honest too. Same issues in the past. I’ll be 47 this year and they stopped asking for my ID at least 5 years ago. That was a tough pill to swallow. Even now when ppl think I’m younger than my age, the youngest they’ll assume I am is early 30s. I was so used to being mistaken for my early 20s that it didn’t register that the older I get that’ll stop🙃😩😂😂. I’m fine with it now but it was rough for a minute lol. Also because it doesn’t feel like nearly 30 years ago when I first went to college🙊
I work at a makeup store and my soul left me when a 12 year old (who looked 8) said she needed to cover her under eyes…SHE IS 12. I’m so sad she feels that she isn’t good enough. 😢
I have experienced ageism but mostly because I look very young for my age. I am not just saying that either >_< I actually don't understand why anyone wants to look young, it's actually very frustrating professionally to have people treat you like an intern rather than a competent contributor with over a decade of experience. I finally started getting gray hairs and you better believe that I am cultivating them!
I think you only truly look younger than your years when actual younger people mistake you for someone their age. Up to age 40, 20somethings often mistook me for someone who was 28 or so. Medical doctors upon first meeting me, also did. So I can honestly say I looked much younger than my years for a long while. Needless to say, I don't get that shocked look anymore when people find out my current age. Aging catches up to all of us eventually. I had a good run though! 😂
It was the same for me. Now most ppl still are shocked but it’s a subtle shock now, and the age gap between how old I actually am and how old they think I am has lessened 😂😂😂. It’s typically 10 years less (or less than that), but in my mid 30s they still sometimes mistook me for a minor. After 40, aged me some, but also I’ve lost a lot of weight over the last 3.5 years and to me that’s aged me even more (and faster).
Same, I looked 25-28 in my 30s, up till I was about 37-38, then aging hit me one day like a ton of bricks, and I suddenly looked closer to 35. I felt really sad at first, especially when people started to say things like ‘what happened? You looked like you were fresh outta college just a couple years ago! You need to stop stressing out, it’s making you look older!’…I wanted so badly to tell them ‘I’m almost 38 you dumbass, I haven’t been ‘fresh out of college for well over a decade!’…anyways, I’m 39 today and I love my face, I don’t look that much younger, sure, maybe on a REALLY good day I look 32, but I’m happy where I’m at, I’m healthy, I take care of myself and I’m content with my life. Can’t wait to turn 40!
That’s sad that she felt that way and stop mentioning her age because of the brands. It’s really a dark shadow because on companies, and I feel great in my late 30s and I can careless about the other noise 💅🏽. I feel that our bodies will be good if we as women keep strengthening our core.
Gen Z is so obsessed with youth, yet they do everything to make themselves look older. They wear too much makeup, too much contouring, aging hairstyles, and some clothing styles that are way too mature. They are doing fillers and cosmetic surgery before it is necessary or when it is simply not needed. It is truly sad. They better learn to enjoy their youth while they can because when it is gone, it is gone. They have the whole rest of their lives to look "mature". They need to enjoy their fresh, young faces while they have them. Kylie Jenner, for example, looks a good 36, and she is only in her 20s. Sad. They are not going to look good when they are actually women "of a certain age". The women who truly look younger than their years NOW are the ones that did not do all of this crazy stuff when they were young.
When will some of you stop judging gen z based on social media influencers and celebrities like Kylie Jenner, most of us are normal young adults not doing the things you mentioned cause we can't afford it lol, do you know how expensive fillers are?
Meanwhile both generations are looking out of shape and feeling ill. Eat healthy build some darn muscle cut body fat and be grateful to see another year.
I love it when they get excited about getting carded. I worked for a liquor company who made us card everyone. I carded an 80 year old. Some stores said card everyone who looks under 45. People actually went on about how they looked under 21. The last time I was carded I was 64. I look weeks younger.
I'm 50 and decided to let my mostly grey hair show up in all its glory. A fellow 50 y/o is replused. She said people are going to think you're older. I told her I may be wired differently, but I care only about how I feel about myself. I literally have tunnel vision as I move through a journey of self-care.
Black doesn’t crack. I still get carded. No wrinkles. I’m a millennial. Mad respect to those who don’t look their age.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I’m still told I’m too young for ish on a job.😂
I don't think a lot of millennials are delusional. Quite a lot of 30 & 40 years old do look like they are in their 20s. I looked like a teenager in my thirties. So much so all the teenagers in my neighborhood thought i was around their age. Then when i turned 39- 40, people thought i was like 24-26. This is the age everyone assumed i was when Looking at me...and i do me everyone....men who hit on me, co workers etc etc.
I don't know, a lot of the millennials on social media claiming to look younger than their age really didn't look younger than their age. I have only seen maybe 10% of the people in that trend who genuinely look younger, and one of them was trolling and actually WAS younger than her age lol.
@@disneytoysr4fun975 I know one of the RUclipsrs who does look younger than his age. He's a dude. His RUclips channel is troycetv. I think that's his name. 🤔 You should look at him and try to guess how old he is. 😄 I was like, shut the front door 🤯😭 when he said how old he just turned. 😄 🙂
I'm 43 and appreciate every stage I have been blessed to experience. I know my best days are still ahead me and I am certainly not looking at someone half my age as my barometer. I look head because that's my future that I can leverage all my learnings from the past, to include self care best practices. (Which includes not defining myself by my ascetics, although it isn't shabby) I have an almost 23-, 19-, and 14-year-old, I love watching them grow! (I also learn from them at my big age and still evolving as an example to them). Just enjoy the life you are living and be "be-YOU-tifully you! I am celebrating in advance and those 50, 60s, 70s and more. Keep waking up folks, let's talk about it ~ until then, be great whatever age you are and never lose the child-like wonder within!
Omg 😂😂😂. I got caught in a discussion like this on IG post Gab Union made on Super Bowl Sunday. I’m a Gen Xer and I was defending Gab cuz they were insinuating she had a bunch of surgery to her face. I simply said, it may be hard for them to fathom her not going under the knife cuz their generation often looks closer in age to us than they desire. Well that set off fireworks and ppl were coming for me and others days later😩😂😂. Nobody thinks I’m a teen, and I’m fine looking my age but folks usually think I’m 10-15 yrs younger (I’ll be 47 in the fall). Girl… some of them were UPSET and definitely called me delusional for saying I get mistaken for being younger 🤭😂😂. I didn’t know it was a thing until then. I’ll stay away from it now ✌🏾. And just to keep it 💯 a lot of us regardless of our generation aged prematurely due to environmental factors like global warming, diet, stress and lack of spf. Great video!
I'm celebrating all of my 63 years (boomer). I think that I look my age, regardless of what others say. I'm happy with my "over the hill" self. Discovering better skincare, diet and intentional exercise has been key for me.
I just turned 30 and I'm dang proud because a lot of my friends didn't make it to my age it's a blessing I work at a college and my coworkers who are in their early 20s had thought I was their age until I told them I'm turning 30 I take care of myself lol
Truth be told there are some people who look younger than their age and some that look older than their age, it really is genetics and how you treat your body when your younger. I’m far more concerned about the mental well being of Gen Z than how they look because the rate of mental illness and suicide in that age group is at an all time high. That is what we all should be focused on especially in the African- American race.
I’m 38 and I will be 39 this year. I decided years ago after watching my mother who is GenX deny her age that I will not deny how old I am. The goal is to age gracefully. Eat well, drink water and exercise. And try my best to reduce stress.
Oh and while I would NEVER comment on someone’s post and try and call them out, folks who were Gen Z (I’m assuming based on their comments lol) were coming for me saying how old I looked. Now mind you, they had public pages and I was looking confused 🫤 like I’m okay looking my age, but ummm why are we looking the SAME age and we’re nearly 20 years apart… I should look my age, you shouldn’t look my age though… then I decided to block cuz I didn’t want to be mean again😬😂😂
I saw the videos made by some GenZ and they look older. And they said they get told they look older than they are. Some of them had a lot of fillers though, which I think is the real issue.
I’m now 39, but somehow online these younger generations are so socially awkward that they try to call me “grandma” as an insult 😂😂 I mean I don’t get it, is there something wrong with being a grandma? Because I love grandma’s, my own and others lol.. But no I’m not a granny yet.. If y’all know 38 yr old grannies then that’s a problem 😂😂 Calling me “grandma” isn’t hurtful in any way lol.. But in real life most ppl think I’m only about 30 because I have a fat baby face.. I will be so delighted when I finally get the opportunity to be a grandma for sure 🤷🏽♀️ The young guys love this cute & fat, baby face on this Bajan Princess 🥰🇧🇧
So… I’ll be 39 next week and I had a PYT at work ask me out. I asked him why… does he watch Nat Geo? He was confused I said cause clearly you like Mountain Lions, Pumas… cougars lol
I think it was an over correction to Gen Z being wildly agiest. For a group that swears up and down they are so much more evolved than previous generations they spend a lot of time bullying people online, especially if they're older.( Low key the way they are agiest, obsessed with femininity, and gender roles, they sound a lot like their Boomer grandparents). Are there Millennials that are delulu about aging? Sure, but most are not. If anything most of us want to be left alone, we've been dragged in the media for going on 20 years now.
People saying they get carded is not a flex nor a barometer of how young you appear. Unless you look like Bernie Sanders you’re getting carded. The service industry does not have time to play guessing games, they have to ask for ID. I’m 44 and I look 44 (though people think I’m in my 30s) and I look good at my age. And realistically what does age really look like? It’s like weight, you can line up people that weigh the same and it looks different on each person. I look good from head to toe because I take good care of my total wellbeing. My goal is to look and feel good at my age. I’m not trying to chase my youth or compete with the younger folk.
I have some Gen Z and some Gen Alphas and they look older, however, we have had some traumatic events (mainly Covid) so it's probably stress, drugs, and alcohol
The thing about looking 10 yrs younger than your age is the part where other people recognize and are astonished when you tell them your age. Not you telling yourself that you look younger lol. 😂 people need to chill, age gracefully and live your life.
Hi Danielle! Love your content, been watching for years 😊 Can you remind me of where you got your ponytail? Is it Big Chop hair? If so, how many inches is it? Thx!
I defined Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z in the previous video. I only brought up Gen X vs Gen Z because people were conflating the two as well as misspelling “millennial.”
I'm a millennial aged 42 but still maintain a 35 age look and feel. I think what made the difference for us was the marketing of that time yes we wanted to grow up but we dressed and put ourselves together mostly to look our age and even when we tried to look older it was maybe a 2 year bump in our look whereas Gen Z not completely at fault has been forced to try and look much older than they are. The marketing strategy of this time has pushed on younger generation to dress, wear makeup, hair extension etc at a much early stage in their life and also to look older plus the hormones in the foods has a negative effect on our bodies. Yes there are some delusional millennials but I also think a lot of those videos are satire just for likes.
If you look at pics of some Gen Z influencers with and without makeup, there's a big difference. The no makeup pics look younger. If you look at pics from 60s, the heavy eyeliner look definitely aged 20 somethings.
Alot of y'all are pressed about what shes talking about, this is true for alot of older people out here, some of us struggle with balancing and accepting where we are especially if we are still single with no prospects, its hard out here for alot of us Gen -zers, might not be you but believe me I know a few .
I’m getting over it now but it was starting to irritate me a little bit, seeing all these grown women clipping parts of younger women’s and teenager’s videos and then sitting there smirking like they look so much younger. I’m like no you don’t tho even with the young girl having makeup on like stop why
Gen X is From 1965 to 1980s and GenZ is from 1997 to 2012 then what am I? a ghost a transition? they don’t care about from 1980s to 1996 you mean, I’ve been fighting a battle that has nothing to do with me because it sounds like I’m a gen ‘y’.
I explained the different generations Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z in the previous video referenced in this video. I only made the distinction between Gen X and Gen Z here because people were conflating the two.
Thankfully they seem to be better now, but a lot of them definitely center youth. I’m going to assume because they’re trying to make the youth longtime users and think that the older folks already are brand loyal/stuck in their ways?
Oh yea Gen Z definetly look older then Millenials. Bring out some pictures with your friends age 20-25 and look at the 14years old nowadays 😂 It’s not all but most. I have kids between 19-29 and if I see their friends I’m surprised 😏🙃😅
As someone who is 30+ and I still get i.d by teens for a movie 😅 I agree some ppl are delusional and Professional liars. I have a lot of friends and they are use to me always getting dbl carded or getting compliments for looking so young and on social media when I see those posts asking people to post their pictures bragging about how young they look.i laugh to myself because None of Those people get mistaken for being younger in real life. And they also ask me for all my tips and advice, but it's really genetics.😅
I think the way ppl dress can also make them look younger. Like you can be 30+ and still dress stylish and age appropriate. My cousin is beautiful & has gorgeous skin, but ppl always think she's older. I told her it was the frumpy outfits. So, I took her shopping. Now she's turning heads & feeling herself. She def got her groove back!!! 😂
There is a British actress named Millie Bobby Brown. According to Wikipedia, Millie was born in 2004 which would make her 20 years old aka a Gen Z. Millie looks waaay older than 20 and looking at her face, it appears Millie has had a LOT of procedures/plastic surgery done. This is why people think Gen Z is aging like milk...they are doing way too much stuff to their face and it is aging them. Ironically, plastic surgery came up as a medical specialty to make older women look younger, it is actually Gen X and Boomers who should be having plastic surgery (ideally, everyone should age gracefully, of course). Now, I have some theories about why Gen Z is having so much plastic surgery despite being so young.
I’m sorry I wish some of them were lying but some Gen z look old af. Millennials have been saying yes we look our age but some of the the younger ones look just as old but to be fair some Gen x look younger than millennials.
Thank you for saying this. The weight thing is so important. It changes everything about you even the way that you walk. Being overweight is a hallmark sign of age!
LMAOOOOOOO @the thumbnail, caption, and first clip. 🤣😂 I'm gonna let you finish 😁, but *I do still get carded for **_tobacco_** products (18+), and the first time they did it in one particular store, the women at the register even passed around my ID, before asking my secrets. I've been told (sometimes annoyingly) that my ID isn't me, **_and just today_** my man's uncle referenced 1995, sweetly saying before I was born. I thanked him, and informed him that I was **_15 that year._* 😇 He could not believe me, until my man (who is just shy of 9 yrs my junior) verified. However, once I speak, my wisdom does reveal my age (oft even aging me like a "nana"- which became one of my nicknames). It's def my aura and demeanor, b/c I am tall and "slim~thick", with an obvious biological _womanly_ body. I do love that I have an _elder soul_ juxtaposed with my youthful spirit, and admittedly I sometimes am a bit taken aback, myself. *I always credit my genetics (seriously, **_both_** sides) 🧬🩸, my Holy Spirit, and lifestyle, but it is most especially the first two.* Also not wearing makeup or using many products on my face and overall skin, but nearly bathing in lotion since youth (at least since age 4, literally a hilarious story from my first week of kindergarten I'll share in my own platform). I could continue, but I actually started writing about this very thing recently, so I won't here. *_THAT ESTABLISHED... I am often met with people _(mostly_** women) who once they hear me correct folks about my age always want to hit me the same thing the first TikToker said in this vid, and [barring **_one_** I can recall], I look at them like 👀😬. In my 🧠, I'm like YOU DEF look your age or OLDER.* No need to try to compare & compete, you're opening yourself up to disappointment at best. I refuse to guess their ages when they ask, b/c it's either lie or unnecessarily hurt feelings; both are a nope for me. I know I wrote a dissertation here 😅, but I _had_ to speak up as a proper Xennial who actually _does. As well as_ acknowledge that I am in the minority, so you're mostly right. Now, back to the vid.
40 is the new early childhood 😭😂

I agree with that statement. I’ll be 47 and I’ve been mistaken for being in my early 30s (not always but sometimes).

Ain’t no way. Maybe you need your vision checked. Even with the 40-something people who look much younger (those are the ones who really take care of themselves, and maybe even get some good work done), it’s not going be by more than 10 years. For eg., Shakira is in her mid 40s and she looks incredible, she looks much younger than her age, but she looks 35, not 25 or even 30. Miranda Kerr looks early 30s and she’s in her early 40s. It’s never more than 10 years, even if they put a lot of effort and money to look younger.
I’m Gen X. I’m 48. It runs in my family to look younger than our age. At 26, I was mistaken for a minor. People are still surprised that I have kids as old as I do, (27,27, & 30). However, I am realizing that I’m getting older and I hate it. The last time I was in a liquor store several years ago and the cashier didn’t ask for my ID, I was hurt. That was my first time not getting carded. My adult son was with me, he thought it was hilarious.💀I even asked him if he wanted to check and he smiled and was like no. I was sick. I haven’t been back to the liquor store.😂
Girl, you really want to pass as 21 at your grown age? 😂
I’ll be honest too. Same issues in the past. I’ll be 47 this year and they stopped asking for my ID at least 5 years ago. That was a tough pill to swallow. Even now when ppl think I’m younger than my age, the youngest they’ll assume I am is early 30s.
I was so used to being mistaken for my early 20s that it didn’t register that the older I get that’ll stop🙃😩😂😂.
I’m fine with it now but it was rough for a minute lol. Also because it doesn’t feel like nearly 30 years ago when I first went to college🙊
I work at a makeup store and my soul left me when a 12 year old (who looked 8) said she needed to cover her under eyes…SHE IS 12. I’m so sad she feels that she isn’t good enough. 😢
Nah. Leave Gen X outta this. We definitely aren’t competing with the other gens! For what?!😂🤷🏿♀️
Your peeps were all up in the comments last video though lol
@styleandbeautydoctor how old are you?
@@labelmeposh She mentioned it in this videos and others.
@Rene-cn4jc Hi, thank you. This page is in my recommendations. I've never seen any other videos. Woukd you like to divulge her age to me?
@Rene-cn4jc Hi, thank you. This video came up in my recommendations, this is the 1st one I've watched. Would you care to divulge her age to me?
That opening tiktok took me out 😂😂😂😂
I’m 35 and I look very much 35. And I’m happy with what I have. I am bald. I have grey hair in my beard 😂
Period king!
I blame filters. It gave millennials false sense of self appearance. Also the smoothing effects built into cameras.
I have experienced ageism but mostly because I look very young for my age. I am not just saying that either >_< I actually don't understand why anyone wants to look young, it's actually very frustrating professionally to have people treat you like an intern rather than a competent contributor with over a decade of experience. I finally started getting gray hairs and you better believe that I am cultivating them!
No fear of aging here. 😙 I will be 51 this year and proud 😁
We age once we're born. Look and feel the best at your age and live your best healthy life - physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
I think you only truly look younger than your years when actual younger people mistake you for someone their age. Up to age 40, 20somethings often mistook me for someone who was 28 or so. Medical doctors upon first meeting me, also did. So I can honestly say I looked much younger than my years for a long while. Needless to say, I don't get that shocked look anymore when people find out my current age. Aging catches up to all of us eventually. I had a good run though! 😂
It was the same for me. Now most ppl still are shocked but it’s a subtle shock now, and the age gap between how old I actually am and how old they think I am has lessened 😂😂😂. It’s typically 10 years less (or less than that), but in my mid 30s they still sometimes mistook me for a minor.
After 40, aged me some, but also I’ve lost a lot of weight over the last 3.5 years and to me that’s aged me even more (and faster).
This!
Same, I looked 25-28 in my 30s, up till I was about 37-38, then aging hit me one day like a ton of bricks, and I suddenly looked closer to 35. I felt really sad at first, especially when people started to say things like ‘what happened? You looked like you were fresh outta college just a couple years ago! You need to stop stressing out, it’s making you look older!’…I wanted so badly to tell them ‘I’m almost 38 you dumbass, I haven’t been ‘fresh out of college for well over a decade!’…anyways, I’m 39 today and I love my face, I don’t look that much younger, sure, maybe on a REALLY good day I look 32, but I’m happy where I’m at, I’m healthy, I take care of myself and I’m content with my life. Can’t wait to turn 40!
That’s sad that she felt that way and stop mentioning her age because of the brands. It’s really a dark shadow because on companies, and I feel great in my late 30s and I can careless about the other noise 💅🏽. I feel that our bodies will be good if we as women keep strengthening our core.
just as I read the last part of your comment, I sat up straight and engaged my core lol
Yes girlie preach, lifting and wood sculpting as well👌☺️☺️
@@paulamugabi7320 Yes 🙌🏽
Gen Z is so obsessed with youth, yet they do everything to make themselves look older. They wear too much makeup, too much contouring, aging hairstyles, and some clothing styles that are way too mature. They are doing fillers and cosmetic surgery before it is necessary or when it is simply not needed. It is truly sad. They better learn to enjoy their youth while they can because when it is gone, it is gone. They have the whole rest of their lives to look "mature". They need to enjoy their fresh, young faces while they have them. Kylie Jenner, for example, looks a good 36, and she is only in her 20s. Sad. They are not going to look good when they are actually women "of a certain age". The women who truly look younger than their years NOW are the ones that did not do all of this crazy stuff when they were young.
When will some of you stop judging gen z based on social media influencers and celebrities like Kylie Jenner, most of us are normal young adults not doing the things you mentioned cause we can't afford it lol, do you know how expensive fillers are?
This is such a great video - and this is comin' from a '64 baby - thank YOU very much! LOL!
I looovveee being over 40 💯Being healthy and happy is on a whole different level/tier. Aging is a part of life and it’s beautiful ❤
Meanwhile both generations are looking out of shape and feeling ill. Eat healthy build some darn muscle cut body fat and be grateful to see another year.
😂 this
Right...and stop eating so much gross take-out.
I love it when they get excited about getting carded. I worked for a liquor company who made us card everyone. I carded an 80 year old. Some stores said card everyone who looks under 45. People actually went on about how they looked under 21. The last time I was carded I was 64. I look weeks younger.
Girl yes. I am forever 25 but I look like I am going on 100❤ lol
I'm 50 and decided to let my mostly grey hair show up in all its glory. A fellow 50 y/o is replused. She said people are going to think you're older. I told her I may be wired differently, but I care only about how I feel about myself. I literally have tunnel vision as I move through a journey of self-care.
Black doesn’t crack. I still get carded. No wrinkles. I’m a millennial. Mad respect to those who don’t look their age.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I’m still told I’m too young for ish on a job.😂
“When I walk with my little sister, they think I'm her big cousin” Help meeeeee 😂
I don't think a lot of millennials are delusional.
Quite a lot of 30 & 40 years old do look like they are in their 20s.
I looked like a teenager in my thirties. So much so all the teenagers in my neighborhood thought i was around their age.
Then when i turned 39- 40, people thought i was like 24-26. This is the age everyone assumed i was when Looking at me...and i do me everyone....men who hit on me, co workers etc etc.
I don't know, a lot of the millennials on social media claiming to look younger than their age really didn't look younger than their age. I have only seen maybe 10% of the people in that trend who genuinely look younger, and one of them was trolling and actually WAS younger than her age lol.
@@disneytoysr4fun975 I know one of the RUclipsrs who does look younger than his age.
He's a dude. His RUclips channel is troycetv. I think that's his name. 🤔
You should look at him and try to guess how old he is. 😄
I was like, shut the front door 🤯😭 when he said how old he just turned. 😄 🙂
No y’all, she meant 43 in August 2044
😂😂😂😂😂
I'm 43 and appreciate every stage I have been blessed to experience. I know my best days are still ahead me and I am certainly not looking at someone half my age as my barometer. I look head because that's my future that I can leverage all my learnings from the past, to include self care best practices. (Which includes not defining myself by my ascetics, although it isn't shabby) I have an almost 23-, 19-, and 14-year-old, I love watching them grow! (I also learn from them at my big age and still evolving as an example to them). Just enjoy the life you are living and be "be-YOU-tifully you! I am celebrating in advance and those 50, 60s, 70s and more. Keep waking up folks, let's talk about it ~ until then, be great whatever age you are and never lose the child-like wonder within!
Omg 😂😂😂. I got caught in a discussion like this on IG post Gab Union made on Super Bowl Sunday.
I’m a Gen Xer and I was defending Gab cuz they were insinuating she had a bunch of surgery to her face. I simply said, it may be hard for them to fathom her not going under the knife cuz their generation often looks closer in age to us than they desire.
Well that set off fireworks and ppl were coming for me and others days later😩😂😂. Nobody thinks I’m a teen, and I’m fine looking my age but folks usually think I’m 10-15 yrs younger (I’ll be 47 in the fall). Girl… some of them were UPSET and definitely called me delusional for saying I get mistaken for being younger 🤭😂😂.
I didn’t know it was a thing until then. I’ll stay away from it now ✌🏾. And just to keep it 💯 a lot of us regardless of our generation aged prematurely due to environmental factors like global warming, diet, stress and lack of spf. Great video!
I'm celebrating all of my 63 years (boomer). I think that I look my age, regardless of what others say. I'm happy with my "over the hill" self. Discovering better skincare, diet and intentional exercise has been key for me.
I’m going to be 40 in April….
Same 🎉
I’m turning 40 in May!
I see this all the time lol. Than when I look at their pics. They look their age. There is Nothing wrong with looking your age.
The incubator crib comment annihilated me
I just turned 30 and I'm dang proud because a lot of my friends didn't make it to my age it's a blessing I work at a college and my coworkers who are in their early 20s had thought I was their age until I told them I'm turning 30 I take care of myself lol
Love the earrings, Danielle
Thank you, boo!
Truth be told there are some people who look younger than their age and some that look older than their age, it really is genetics and how you treat your body when your younger. I’m far more concerned about the mental well being of Gen Z than how they look because the rate of mental illness and suicide in that age group is at an all time high. That is what we all should be focused on especially in the African- American race.
I had to like and subscribe as I freeze smiled and stared at this 👀 😄
As a millennial, I am embarrassed. Like whyyyyy😭
I’m 38 and I will be 39 this year. I decided years ago after watching my mother who is GenX deny her age that I will not deny how old I am. The goal is to age gracefully. Eat well, drink water and exercise. And try my best to reduce stress.
Any updates on PRF for under eyes, do you still use the cream presecribed by your dermatologist?
As soon as I tell people my age they act different. It’s like a deterrent 😅
It’s ok to look 42.
I love aging its a blessing to be alive i cant wait to see gray hair come in ❤❤
Oh and while I would NEVER comment on someone’s post and try and call them out, folks who were Gen Z (I’m assuming based on their comments lol) were coming for me saying how old I looked.
Now mind you, they had public pages and I was looking confused 🫤 like I’m okay looking my age, but ummm why are we looking the SAME age and we’re nearly 20 years apart… I should look my age, you shouldn’t look my age though… then I decided to block cuz I didn’t want to be mean again😬😂😂
Finally somebody said it! 😂😂😂
Looking good boo
Delulu is the selulu😅.Us quartergenerians aint hurting nobody with our delusions.
I saw the videos made by some GenZ and they look older. And they said they get told they look older than they are. Some of them had a lot of fillers though, which I think is the real issue.
Well. Im 45 and look 30 so speak for yourself ma'am. I bet i do!!!!
I bet I DO TOO!!! Why don't I have apic in my circle anyway??
I’m now 39, but somehow online these younger generations are so socially awkward that they try to call me “grandma” as an insult 😂😂 I mean I don’t get it, is there something wrong with being a grandma? Because I love grandma’s, my own and others lol.. But no I’m not a granny yet.. If y’all know 38 yr old grannies then that’s a problem 😂😂 Calling me “grandma” isn’t hurtful in any way lol.. But in real life most ppl think I’m only about 30 because I have a fat baby face.. I will be so delighted when I finally get the opportunity to be a grandma for sure 🤷🏽♀️ The young guys love this cute & fat, baby face on this Bajan Princess 🥰🇧🇧
So… I’ll be 39 next week and I had a PYT at work ask me out. I asked him why… does he watch Nat Geo? He was confused I said cause clearly you like Mountain Lions, Pumas… cougars lol
I think it was an over correction to Gen Z being wildly agiest. For a group that swears up and down they are so much more evolved than previous generations they spend a lot of time bullying people online, especially if they're older.( Low key the way they are agiest, obsessed with femininity, and gender roles, they sound a lot like their Boomer grandparents). Are there Millennials that are delulu about aging? Sure, but most are not. If anything most of us want to be left alone, we've been dragged in the media for going on 20 years now.
I would argue that most Millennials are delusional.
People saying they get carded is not a flex nor a barometer of how young you appear. Unless you look like Bernie Sanders you’re getting carded. The service industry does not have time to play guessing games, they have to ask for ID.
I’m 44 and I look 44 (though people think I’m in my 30s) and I look good at my age. And realistically what does age really look like? It’s like weight, you can line up people that weigh the same and it looks different on each person.
I look good from head to toe because I take good care of my total wellbeing. My goal is to look and feel good at my age. I’m not trying to chase my youth or compete with the younger folk.
I have some Gen Z and some Gen Alphas and they look older, however, we have had some traumatic events (mainly Covid) so it's probably stress, drugs, and alcohol
Subscribed . Fellow Trini
Ayeeee
Thanks, dahling!
The thing about looking 10 yrs younger than your age is the part where other people recognize and are astonished when you tell them your age. Not you telling yourself that you look younger lol. 😂 people need to chill, age gracefully and live your life.
Hi Danielle! Love your content, been watching for years 😊 Can you remind me of where you got your ponytail? Is it Big Chop hair? If so, how many inches is it? Thx!
Thank you! Yes, it’s Big Chop. I can’t remember-maybe 24”?
@@styleandbeautydoctorthank you so much Danielle!
Some people look in a different kind of mirror 😅 then others
.so what about the years between gen x and millenium that you didn't mention??? are we NOTHING?.
I defined Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z in the previous video. I only brought up Gen X vs Gen Z because people were conflating the two as well as misspelling “millennial.”
I'm a millennial aged 42 but still maintain a 35 age look and feel. I think what made the difference for us was the marketing of that time yes we wanted to grow up but we dressed and put ourselves together mostly to look our age and even when we tried to look older it was maybe a 2 year bump in our look whereas Gen Z not completely at fault has been forced to try and look much older than they are. The marketing strategy of this time has pushed on younger generation to dress, wear makeup, hair extension etc at a much early stage in their life and also to look older plus the hormones in the foods has a negative effect on our bodies. Yes there are some delusional millennials but I also think a lot of those videos are satire just for likes.
If you look at pics of some Gen Z influencers with and without makeup, there's a big difference. The no makeup pics look younger. If you look at pics from 60s, the heavy eyeliner look definitely aged 20 somethings.
“I’m 42 it’s kinda weird.” 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Alot of y'all are pressed about what shes talking about, this is true for alot of older people out here, some of us struggle with balancing and accepting where we are especially if we are still single with no prospects, its hard out here for alot of us Gen -zers, might not be you but believe me I know a few .
I get carded sis, yall be safe thou😂
lol they have to card you to maintain their liquor license 😂
I've worked at bars and I would randomly card people depending on my mood 😂 Some bars we don't card at all.
They card anyone who doesn't look half way out the door. So unless you are 70 this isn't a flex.
Yes playing no games 37😊
I just want to know where I can find those earrings
I’m getting over it now but it was starting to irritate me a little bit, seeing all these grown women clipping parts of younger women’s and teenager’s videos and then sitting there smirking like they look so much younger. I’m like no you don’t tho even with the young girl having makeup on like stop why
I look way younger than the generation I am from, that's a fact for me, I can't speak for others.
2:29 😂😂😂😂
I’m 35 and pregnancy. Chillle 🤦🏾♀️ what I do that for? lol jk
I just had a baby 5 months ago and I’m 41. I was at those appointments looking like 👵🏾🤰🏾
Gen X is From 1965 to 1980s and GenZ is from 1997 to 2012 then what am I? a ghost a transition? they don’t care about from 1980s to 1996 you mean, I’ve been fighting a battle that has nothing to do with me because it sounds like I’m a gen ‘y’.
I explained the different generations Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z in the previous video referenced in this video.
I only made the distinction between Gen X and Gen Z here because people were conflating the two.
And also because folks were misspelling “millennial.”
Girl, you do not look 43. My comment may be the opposite of the point you were trying to make but im just saying...
Those brands dont make sense...I feel like i spend more on cosmetics the older I get
Thankfully they seem to be better now, but a lot of them definitely center youth. I’m going to assume because they’re trying to make the youth longtime users and think that the older folks already are brand loyal/stuck in their ways?
Turned 38 yesterday.
Happy belated birthday!!!
@@styleandbeautydoctor thank you 😊
For most people around 35-40 you start being more conscious about your skin and aging.
So brands that feed into agism needs to reasses.
Oh yea Gen Z definetly look older then Millenials. Bring out some pictures with your friends age 20-25 and look at the 14years old nowadays 😂
It’s not all but most. I have kids between 19-29 and if I see their friends I’m surprised 😏🙃😅
As someone who is 30+ and I still get i.d by teens for a movie 😅 I agree some ppl are delusional and Professional liars. I have a lot of friends and they are use to me always getting dbl carded or getting compliments for looking so young and on social media when I see those posts asking people to post their pictures bragging about how young they look.i laugh to myself because None of Those people get mistaken for being younger in real life. And they also ask me for all my tips and advice, but it's really genetics.😅
I think the way ppl dress can also make them look younger. Like you can be 30+ and still dress stylish and age appropriate. My cousin is beautiful & has gorgeous skin, but ppl always think she's older. I told her it was the frumpy outfits. So, I took her shopping. Now she's turning heads & feeling herself. She def got her groove back!!! 😂
That’s actually normal to be asked for your ID believe it or not, that doesn’t necessarily mean anything. But I get what you mean lmao
There is a British actress named Millie Bobby Brown. According to Wikipedia, Millie was born in 2004 which would make her 20 years old aka a Gen Z. Millie looks waaay older than 20 and looking at her face, it appears Millie has had a LOT of procedures/plastic surgery done. This is why people think Gen Z is aging like milk...they are doing way too much stuff to their face and it is aging them. Ironically, plastic surgery came up as a medical specialty to make older women look younger, it is actually Gen X and Boomers who should be having plastic surgery (ideally, everyone should age gracefully, of course). Now, I have some theories about why Gen Z is having so much plastic surgery despite being so young.
Millie bobby brown dies not look that old, and plastic surgery is largely irrelevant because most people don't get plastic surgery.
Millie looks youthful though? Did we not both watch her on stranger things? She looks like a kid there.
@@livelovely4681 That was in like 2016, have you seen her recent red carpet appearances?
All groups are delusional with aging. All humans age by the second. You will always be younger and older than someone.
🇹🇹 🇹🇹 🇹🇹
I’m sorry I wish some of them were lying but some Gen z look old af. Millennials have been saying yes we look our age but some of the the younger ones look just as old but to be fair some Gen x look younger than millennials.
Your skin is so even and dewy
Aww thanks!
How old do I look?
Weight also ages you and a lot of gen z and millennials are overweight.
Thank you for saying this. The weight thing is so important. It changes everything about you even the way that you walk. Being overweight is a hallmark sign of age!
😂😂🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
Also,gen z dont look younger than millenials.
Competing with Gen Z? ha ha ha ha...I have much better things to do.
LMAOOOOOOO @the thumbnail, caption, and first clip. 🤣😂
I'm gonna let you finish 😁, but *I do still get carded for **_tobacco_** products (18+), and the first time they did it in one particular store, the women at the register even passed around my ID, before asking my secrets. I've been told (sometimes annoyingly) that my ID isn't me, **_and just today_** my man's uncle referenced 1995, sweetly saying before I was born. I thanked him, and informed him that I was **_15 that year._* 😇 He could not believe me, until my man (who is just shy of 9 yrs my junior) verified. However, once I speak, my wisdom does reveal my age (oft even aging me like a "nana"- which became one of my nicknames). It's def my aura and demeanor, b/c I am tall and "slim~thick", with an obvious biological _womanly_ body. I do love that I have an _elder soul_ juxtaposed with my youthful spirit, and admittedly I sometimes am a bit taken aback, myself.
*I always credit my genetics (seriously, **_both_** sides) 🧬🩸, my Holy Spirit, and lifestyle, but it is most especially the first two.* Also not wearing makeup or using many products on my face and overall skin, but nearly bathing in lotion since youth (at least since age 4, literally a hilarious story from my first week of kindergarten I'll share in my own platform). I could continue, but I actually started writing about this very thing recently, so I won't here.
*_THAT ESTABLISHED... I am often met with people _(mostly_** women) who once they hear me correct folks about my age always want to hit me the same thing the first TikToker said in this vid, and [barring **_one_** I can recall], I look at them like 👀😬. In my 🧠, I'm like YOU DEF look your age or OLDER.* No need to try to compare & compete, you're opening yourself up to disappointment at best. I refuse to guess their ages when they ask, b/c it's either lie or unnecessarily hurt feelings; both are a nope for me.
I know I wrote a dissertation here 😅, but I _had_ to speak up as a proper Xennial who actually _does. As well as_ acknowledge that I am in the minority, so you're mostly right. Now, back to the vid.
